One work in this collection makes a comparison to the way "King August the Strong would crush a tin plate". Its last poem tells of "adverts for ‘Deathless'" found in the "Grief-City" and sees the "Lament" enumerate a number of constellations. The fifth of them describes an inscription reading "Subrisio saltat: the Saltimbanque's smile" and was inspired by a Picasso painting, while the second one asks "Weren't you amazed by the caution of human gesture on Attic steles?" The first entry in this work asks its addressee "Have you imagined Gaspara Stampa sufficiently yet?" and opens with the line "Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angelic orders?" For 10 points
